Cookin’ Up a Taste of Autumn

When the clouds scud across the steel gray sky and the wind brushes noisily past the windows and the beauty of orange, yellow, and red twirl and float across the Autumn sky, it’s time to bake!

The other morning it was gray and cold. I couldn’t resist. I just had to have a warm breakfast even if it meant we started school later than usual. I had been wanting to try a Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal recipe for a long time. The moment just presented itself perfectly for whipping up a warm, filling, tasty breakfast. And I must say this recipe did not disappoint! My children LOVED this, as did I. It will definitely be put into the cold months breakfast rotation!

Mix all ingredients in mixing bowl. Spread into a greased 9x13 in. pan. Bake uncovered at 350 for 20-25 min or until moist crumbs are left on knife that is inserted near middle. Serve with a sprinkle of brown sugar and top with milk or half and half.

I’m on the hunt this afternoon to make some wonderful bread and baked goods. I haven’t pinned down what I’m going to make yet, but I will. Then I’m going to top off my baking spree with a Down Home supper of Salisbury steak (made with ground venison), mashed potatoes, sweet corn, and a loaf of hot homemade bread.

That oatmeal looks incredible! I just pinned it. We will be having that for breakfast very soon!!

I'm a little jealous of your autumn colors. Our trees haven't started changing yet. They generally change about 2 days before they all fall to the ground. We just don't get too much of a fall here. :o/

Love all your fall pictures. They are breathtaking! That baked oatmeal recipe looks wonderful, too. Just want you to know that your family has been in my prayers. If I've learned anything this past year it is that God can make lemonade our of lemons. Hugs to you!
